If it goes in the pack or on a load shelf keep it higher up and not down low on your back.
What’s the reasoning behind this? I always thought you should keep it lower. Shows what I know.

I think too many guys put emphasis on being a badass and making fewer trips
I consider it the opposite........I'm not enough of a badass to make that trek back in anymore times that I need to. In most cases I'd rather carry heavy less times than lighter multiple times more.
Put a 50# sandbag in the very bottom of your pack and hike a mile. Then take the same sandbag and stuff the bottom of your pack with a sleeping bag or 2 and put the weight on top of them. Compress it all down so the weight stays on the upper half of your back and hike a mile. Then you will get it.
